Fort Lewis Master Plan AGENDA • Real Property Master Plan / Vision • North Fort Lewis • Existing Facilities - Energy Savings • Logistics Center • Family Housing • Historic Downtown Fort Lewis Area Development Plan Fort Lewis 2017 Real Property Master Plan Update
A comprehensive planning process is the catalyst for a vibrant construction program that meets mission needs, takes best advantage of available real estate and ensures that development occurs in concert with environmental considerations, including the National Environmental Policy Act.This process achieves goals of sustainable development and creates quality neighborhoods that are walkable and are great places to work, live, and play.Major General Merdith W.B. TempleDirector of Military ProgramsU.S. Army Corps of Engineers2008 Fort Lewis 2017 Real Property Master Plan Update
Master Plan Vision Planning Vision:In support of the mission, Soldiers and Families, we will create a sustainable community of walkable neighborhoods with identifiable town centers connected by great streets.Design Principles Mixed-Use Buildings Single use facilities contribute to inefficient land use (sprawl) because they force construction of small, single story facilities. Compatible functions should be collocated in mixed use facilities. Mixed use facilities are economically and environmentally sustainable, use land more efficiently, and support vertical construction and compact development. Regional Character Architecturally compatible buildings help create a unique and unified environment. Regional and local resources should be studied in evaluating existing themes. Materials that are native to the region should be used. Colors and textures should also be reflective of the region. Car Parks Seas of asphalt are major eyesores on Ft Lewis. They are unpleasant to view, uncomfortable to walk through and create significant storm water run-off. Make these places more like a garden. Between every parking aisle, create a planted aisle full of trees, grass and shrubs. Allow drainage from the paved area to pass through the curbs and into the landscaped areas. Town Square Create a place where people can gather for a sense of community. Fort Lewis 2017 Planning Vision and Design Principles

THE SUSTAINABLE DOWNTOWN Renewable Energy Large retail roofs can be an ideal location for photovoltaic (solar) panels that produce electricity from sunlight Green roofs Reduce stormwater runoff, reduce cooling loads for large retail facilities, improve low-slope roof longevity and reduce the heat island effect Permeable Paving Reduces stormwater runoff and the resultant need for large retention facilities, infiltration is also increased preserving more of the natural hydrology. Daylighting Skylights and clerestory windows with lighting controls that “harvest” daylight significantly reduce energy use and make a more pleasant indoor environment Photo credit: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc Photo courtesy Puget Sound LID Manual Fort Lewis 2017 Fort Lewis – a few of the proposed sustainable development technologies
